Hi Clara, You're adorable and your blog is fantastic!I love this post and I have to say that Cary Grant not winning an Oscar is most disturbing and tragic. His comedic timing has been mimicked but never upstaged, his dashing good looks we're one of a kind and he's just the greatest comedic actor to have ever graced the screen.Page

This list took my breath away (especially for me an African American where decades later African Americans have only won 6....really?) as I read the names of Barbara Stanwick, Rosalind Russell, Maureen O'Hara, Orson Wells (What!!!), and Edward G. Robinson just took the cake.

As with everything, politics heavily dictate the industries served and operated by humans. From decade to decade and from moment to moment decisions are based upon money, fame, fortune, and even the detriment of reputations as well as personalities.

Many already understand this and take award shows with a grain or salt and some of us (me especially don't even bother to give those prejudiced shows ratings. Either you as an individual like whom you like, adore what you adore, and live your life according to the things that make you happy, bring you honor, and much respect from the community that you serve or you too will lose your identity in place of what the media dictates.

So to all of those deserving actors and actresses that Bollywood dismissed, ignored, or even attempted to destroy - we salute them, we praise them, and even subscribe to Turner classic Movies to watch them w/our children and grandchildren so we too, can introduce their genius to yet other generation. Happy blogging!
